About Shipwreck Cafe

Shipwreck Cafe offers fresh baked bread, tasty sandwiches, and a variety of salads and soups. The staff is friendly, and the outdoor seating provides a pleasant atmosphere. Customers praise the seafood chowder for being generous and tasty, with clam, shrimp, or crab in every other bite. Known for its great BLT with avocado, called 'the noronic,' and fresh, fast subs, the cafe also offers vegetarian options and good coffee. Some find the food satisfactory but a bit pricey for the portion size, while others find decent prices for fantastic flavors, especially for meals like the Fitzgerald minus the bacon. The chicken chili was good, and the sandwiches were delicious, though some could use a little more flavor. The small twist is delicious and considered the best soft serve twist by some. Prices are very affordable, offering a delicious and satisfying meal. The cafe is a must-see, especially after visiting the Sleeping Bear Dunes Visitor Center.

Great sandwich shop in the area. Loved the pretzel roll buns. Sandwich was very well portioned and will fill you up!

Fresh baked bread and fresh ingredients! Best sandwiches around! So much better than any chain sub or sandwich shop! Friendly staff and lots of outdoor fresh air seating! Can't wait to try the pizza once it gets going!

We stopped at this small roadside cafe when we were visiting the sand dunes and the service was excellent and fast. This has been our best meal we’ve had so far while here in Michigan. Highly recommend!

Many members of our family said it was the best sandwich they’ve ever had! The brownies and cookies were an amazing end to this delicious meal.
